“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.” – Henry Louis Mencken

The recent Peter Gleick brouhaha again brings to the forefront the shadowy and malicious nature of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) movement. The alarmists, who were forced to replace the phrase “global warming” with “climate change” because of the absence of any statistically significant warming over the past 15 years, apparently will stoop to any subterfuge to promulgate their phony science and impugn the character and motives of those scientists and writers who refuse to accept the unproven theory (yes, it’s a “theory”) that mankind is setting the globe on fire with his minuscule contributions of fossil-fuel induced atmospheric CO2, a plant food necessary for all life on earth.

By the way, for those readers who are not up to speed on the latest scandal, Dr. Gleick is an outspoken alarmist scientist and co-founder of the Oakland, Calif.-based Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security. He has admitted to posing as a board member of the libertarian Heartland Institute in Chicago and stealing internal documents from the organization.
